Dear Applicant:

Thank you for expressing an interest in NunatuKavut Community Council (known as NunatuKavut). There are three categories of membership: Full Member – Resident; Full Member – Non-Resident; and Alliance Member.

A Full Member is defined as a person of Inuit decent who is ordinarily a resident in one of the designated areas of Labrador (six months or more) and will be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and privileges NunatuKavut and cannot be a full member in any other Aboriginal organization.

A Full Member – Non-Resident is a person of Inuit descent who does not live in any of the designated areas of Labrador, but maintains contact with members living in any of the designated areas and cannot be a full member in any other Aboriginal organization.

An Alliance Member is defined as an Aboriginal person, ordinarily a resident in Labrador, who supports the objectives of NunatuKavut but who does not qualify for Full Membership. Alliance Members may benefit from Aboriginal representation, affirmative action, various government- sponsored services and programs (i.e. human resources development) and entrepreneurial business opportunities and cannot be a full member in any other Aboriginal organization.

It is important that all sections of the application form are filled out. An incomplete application cannot be considered by the Membership Committee and may be returned to the applicant. Please include the following:

 Copy of a piece of identification, such as a driver’s license, passport or school ID;  A long form copy of your birth certificate OR your short form birth certificate combined with a baptism certificate;  Confirmation of your current residency, such as a driver’s license or old phone/hydro bill, must be included with the application;  A non-refundable $25.00 processing fee (If paying by cheque or money order, please make payee NunatuKavut);  A digital photo (taken from the waist up, against a light background in Landscape) is required to prepare a photo ID membership card; it is necessary to have this photo in a good quality digital format. You can submit the photo with your application, through email or have it taken at your nearest NunatuKavut office. Please note we do not require original copies of supporting documents (photocopies are strongly encouraged). Applications may be scanned & emailed, faxed, dropped off or mailed.
